What rubbish does the used mask belong to?

Belong to, dry garbage.

Disposable masks are made of non-woven fabrics and contain no metal. However, after aseptic treatment, they will not pollute the environment and have no recycling value. They should be put into a dry trash can.

Compared with other cloth masks, disposable masks can't be cleaned. Because the fiber arrangement of this mask has certain directionality, it is easy to be torn when cleaning, losing its original effect, and also leading to its strength and durability being inferior to other masks.
